Tool #5

Meet Ms. Badrak: Family, Friends, UT, Houston
I made this Animoto to quickly introduce myself to my students at the beginning of the year. Students can create personal Animotos containing pictures and/or images as well as descriptions of their favorite people and things. These videos will be presented to the class by each student. This would be a great way to learn how to search and save images from the web as well as a wonderful way to build classroom community. This can be done at the beginning of the year as a whole class (each student would have a personal Animoto) or done week by week in the form of a weekly Star Student (one student presents each week).

Wordle is a wonderful web resource! It is fun way to introduce vocabulary or chunk important information/words for various subjects. This Wordle introduces names of different types of landforms.
